Addendum to ADC 167A 

 New TOC Designating DoD E-MALL for use in DS 888W, Weapon System Data Change 

1. ORIGINATING SERVICE/AGENCY AND POC INFORMATION: 

 a. Service/Agency: Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) 

 b. Originator: DLA J-3314 DSN 427-1612 

2. FUNCTIONAL AREA: 

 a. Primary/Secondary Functional Area: Supply/Logistics 

 b. Primary/Secondary Functional Process: EMALL 

3. REFERENCES: 

 a. DLAM 4140.2, Supply Operation Manual, Vol II Part 3, Appendix A-22 

b. DLMSO Memorandum dated June 13, 2005, subject: Approved DLMS Change (ADC) 167, 

Component Unique Data Content within DS 888W, Weapon System Data Change. 

4. REQUESTED CHANGE: 

 a. Description of Change: This change provides a new value for the Transaction Origination 

Code (TOC) to be recognized on DLMS transactions associated with the Weapon Systems Support 

Program (WSSP) as indicating that the transaction originated within DoD EMALL. This change is an 

addendum to approved procedures documented under ADC 167.

 b. Background: Currently all transactions coming from WSSP in DoD EMALL have the 

Routing Identifier(RIC)-From SME assigned to the DLMS Weapon System Data Change 

(888W/Document Identifier WS1) transaction. When DLA’s Enterprise Business System (EBS) reads 

this transaction and sees the RIC SME, EBS will put RIC-To SME on the responding DLMS 888W 

(Document Identifier WS3), and the Defense Automatic Addressing System (DAAS) will direct the 

transaction to EMALL. 

 c. Detailed Procedures: If a new TOC E indicating DoD EMALL was created, EMALL would 

populate the "E" in the TOC on the WS1 with the correct Military Service RIC as the RIC-From. EBS 

would correctly post the user’s RIC as the RIC-From Service and create the WS3 with the RIC-From 

on the WS1 as the RIC-To on the WS3 and perpetuate the TOC E. When DAAS receives DLMS 

888W/WS3 transactions, an edit would be added so that if the TOC E is present the transaction will be 

routed to DoD EMALL, instead of routing the transaction to the RIC-To.

Note 

Added ADC 167A to DLMS Introductory note 4:

Identifies DLMS 

changes included 

in the DLMS 

Supplement 

2. 2/LQ01/1900 Add new code value to list:

LM Case Origin Code 

DLMS Note: 

Use to indicate the Weapon System Transaction Origination Code 

(TOC). This is an optional entry identifying the initiation/ 

origination point of the Weapon Item Data Transaction. An ANSI 

data maintenance action will be taken to obtain a more appropriate 

code for use in a future version/release. The following code list is 

based upon DLAM 4140.2, Supply Operations Manual, Vol II Part 

3, Appendix A-22. Available code are: 

A – Defense Information Systems Network 

B – BRAC 

C – Center 

E – DoD EMALL 

H – Headquarters 

P - Provisioning 

W- Web-entered by submitting Service 

2. Code W is optional to indicate that transaction reflects Service 

unique data content. 

To identify 

initiation/originati

on point as DoD 

EMALL 

5. REASON FOR CHANGE: To allow DAAS to route the appropriate WS3 to EMALL. 

6. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES: 

 a. Advantages: This will allow transactions coming from WSSP in EMALL to have a unique 

TOC where DAAS can identify and transmit all transactions with a TOC “E” directly to EMALL 

 b. Disadvantages: None 

c. Alternatives: DLMSO identified an alternative where by current RIC-From/RIC-To would 

be unchanged, however an additional RIC value would be added to the DLMS format. This would 

allow for identification of the submitting Service and would allow routing to EMALL without DAAS 

intervention. 

d. Planned Implementation Date: Implementation is planned for June, 2010. DOD EMALL 

is planning this to go into our 10.3.3 release, dated 12 June 2010

7. IMPACT:

 a. DLMS Data Elements: Add new code value to Weapon System Transaction Origination 

Code : E – DoD EMALL.

 b. DAAS: Requires a program change in DAAS Micro Automated Routing System. (DMARS) 

to route WS3s with "E" in the TOC position to DoD EMALL, while routing all others to the RIC-TO. 

c. DLIS DoD EMALL: Revise DoD EMALL procedures to show Military Service RIC as 

originator and include TOC E on outgoing DLMS 888W/WS1. Revise DoD EMALL procedures to 

receive incoming DLMS 888W/WS3 with Military Service RI-To and TOC E, and properly post.
